Monday November 15, 2010
PETALING JAYA: It was a glittering and memorable night last Thursday when the best of the country's property developers were honoured at the Malaysia Property Award 2010.
Amid the glitz and glamour of the event was a strong message to property developers that profits aside, going "green" is not only the way forward but also will be the future demand for residential and commercial properties globally, including in Malaysia. The two most-talked-about issues were sustainable property developments and caring for the environment.
The highlight of the night was centred on the winner of the "Property Man of the Year Award 2010" Datuk Alan Tong, who is also dubbed Malaysia's Condo King.
"Winning this award is an acknowledgment by the panel of judges that hardwork pays. As a property developer, I believe that being diligent, transparent and having consideration for property purchasers are the most important traits of any good developer," he said.
Tong received the prestigious award from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, who graced the event at The Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur in a glittering ceremony attended by local and foreign guests.
The nine other winners of the Malaysia Property Award 2010 included Sunway City Bhd's Sunway City Ipoh for the Master Plan category; Coronation Springs Sdn Bhd's Springtide Residences in Tanjung Bungah, Penang (Residential Development – High Rise); SP Setia Bhd's Precinct 3, Setia Eco Park in Shah Alam, Selangor (Residential Development – Low Rise); Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall Expansion in Bandar Sunway, Selangor (Retail Development); and Quill group's Quill 7 in KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur (Office Development).
The other winners are The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa, Langkawi, Kedah (Hotel Development); Cahaya Jauhar Sdn Bhd's Kota Iskandar (Phase 1) in Nusajaya, Johor (Public Sector); Gloharta (M) Sdn Bhd's Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah (Resort Development) and Gamuda Bhd's Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) (Special Award for National Contribution).
Winners of the MPA in their relevant categories will represent Malaysia the following year at the International Prix d'Excellence, an annual competition that honours the world's best property projects.
SunCity property investment managing director Ngeow Voon Yean said bagging two awards in the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award 2010 was a recognistion of all the hardwork and dedication of the Sunway Group staff.
Quill group executive director Datuk Michael Ong said: "We are delighted to have won the award. It has been a long journey for us," he said. The property developer won the award for its magnificent 30-storey office tower set in the heart of KL Sentral, Malaysia's largest transit hub – QUILL 7.
The International Prix d'Excellence is an annual competition which honours the world's best property projects.
The 2010 Malaysia Property Award was organised by FIABCI Malaysia with Malayan Banking Bhd as the official sponsor.

RHG no longer part of Taragon Puteri project?
THE opening of Rendezvous Hospitality Group (RHG)’s new 445-room business hotel within the Taragon Puteri Kuala Lumpur integrated development remains uncertain.
The reason is that Singapore-based RHG will no longer be involved in the project.
RHG chief executive officer Iqbal Jumabhoy when contacted by Business Times said: “The management contract for Rendezvous Hotel Kuala Lumpur has not been activated because conditions for the lease and operations have not been met.”
The hotel was scheduled to open this month.
“As a consequence, we have closed the hotel pre-opening office in Kuala Lumpur and have ceased marketing activities at this stage,” Jumabhoy said via e-mail.
A question on the likelihood that Rendezvous could return to Taragon, located on Changkat Thambi Dollah off Jalan Pudu, was unanswered.
A check on RHG’s official website still stated that “under the brands of Rendezvous Hotels and The Marque Hotels, the group comprises 15 hotels with 3,350 rooms across Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and China, including a hotel under development in Malaysia”.
A press release dated March 1 2010 on the appointment of Freddy Sim as the general manager for the hotel, is also available on the website.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Taragon when asked about these developments said: “Work on the site is on schedule and the hotel will open by January 2011.”
In an interview with Business Times in March this year, Sim had said that Rendezvous was leasing the hotel portion and will also manage it. The duration for the lease was for 12 years plus six option years.
This leasing agreement in itself is unique in the Malaysian market, as most hotel operators here either own and manage or solely manage hotels.
RHG, a subsidiary of Straits Trading Co Ltd, is a relatively new but growing Singapore hotel brand. It plans to have 12,000 rooms by 2020.
RHG manages hotels under the Rendezvous and Marque brand through Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International.
Asked about future openings for RHG in Malaysia, Jumabhoy said: “While we have no definite plans for Malaysia at this point in time, we are always on the lookout for any opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region.”
